Fear Ls1

Its really hard to get a good pic even with my rebel t3i.

I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue i'm having with my cars paint. I've had this issue for awhile, and ill think I've fixed it, but then it comes back. The paint looks like it has terrible water etchings everywhere. So, i polished it out, and the paint would look great, with no scratches, swirls, or water etchings. So of course after I finished polishing it, i waxed it. Then a couple days later I'm looking at the hood(where the water etchings are the worst) and they are all back again, like I never polished them out. During that time it was never in the rain, or even out in the sun for long, since at the moment it sits in the garage. It is 16 year old paint, but the paint looks flawless for its age. I have this same issue with other panels on the car, but they are not near as bad as the hood. I just polished the hood and got all the etchings out and put 2 coats of quick sealant, so we'll see what happens. I just think it is the strangest thing ever. Its like its coming up under the paint, but I can polish it out every time.

If you lived closer to Texas, I'd be very interested in that SS. Glad to see there are still nice 4th gens out there!

As a fellow 4th Gen F-Body owner, I love that car!

I'm wanting a good at home pressure washer that will be strictly for washing cars. So for you that have one, what would you suggest? Gas or electric? This will be my first pressure washer, so I'd like to spend my money right the first time.

Post some pictures of that beast!

Great choice of wheels. Makes the car look so much better!

Mine does the same thing, as well as the metal polishes. They seem to still work after I've shaken them up.

I see that it's still in the store, but I can't put it in my cart. I click on add to cart and it gives me a weird message.

Thanks for the fast response Mook. I think it looks a lot better now.

Mook, is there anything you'd cover up or be cautious about while cleaning this engine bay?

I've never known about the forum discount either, and I've made about 4 big orders. Is it just automatically applied to your order, or do you have to put a specific code in on that order?

Finally been getting some rain here in Texas, we need it!

Yeah, I was pretty shocked by the results.

I was off today, and had nothing to do, so I thought I'd mess around with the old polishes before the new ones come out on my neglected sail panels. I used severe swirl and haze remover on the orange applicatior, and then followed that up with fine machine polish on the blue applicator. All I did was one pass with each. The little defect you see in the picture is an egg marking from when the car got egged back in high school. I can't wait for the new polishes, even though the old still produced great results!
